coming up next, representative sander levin. yesterday, mitch mcconnell had comments about the republican position on eliminating the fiscal cliff. [video clip] >> if the president is serious about solving current crisis and avoiding future ones, he has to step up and to lead. let me be clear. when it comes to the great economic challenges of the moment, saying that you want a balanced approach is not a plan. saying that people need to pay their fair share is not a plan. the tedious repetition of poll- tested talking points is simply that, and as long as the president uses them as a substitute for leadership, the more difficult it will be to solve problems. the time for the president to lead is now, and that means a concrete plan that takes into account that half of the congress approaches tax hikes, that because we are selfish, stubborn, but we know it is the wrong thing to do. we know it will hurt the economy. we know it will destroy jobs. this is not partisan politics. it is economics. as the president might say, it is math.
